Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a device and method for controlling phonebook synchronization. This includes receiving a request for accessing a phonebook object stored in the device, determining whether the phonebook object is permitted to interoperate with the access requesting program, and providing information of the phonebook object if it is. This allows for better control and management of phonebook synchronization between users and devices.

Problems solved by technology

However, this conventional synchronization method performs overall phonebook synchronization, and as a result, even an unwanted person may be added to a friend list of an SNS or recommended as an SNS friend.
Accordingly, there is difficulty in managing a contact list or a friend list of an SNS and an issue of personal information being exposed to an unwanted person.

Abstract

A device and method for controlling synchronization in a device including receiving, from an access requesting program, a request for accessing a phonebook object stored in a terminal; determining whether the phonebook object is permitted to interoperate with the access requesting program; and providing information of the phonebook object if the phonebook object is determined to be permitted to interoperate with the access requesting program.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to and the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0037601, filed on Apr. 5, 2013, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated by reference for all purposes.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field[0003]The following disclosure relates to a device and method for controlling phonebook synchronization.[0004]2. Discussion of the Background[0005]With the development of Internet technology, a number of social networking service (SNS) users has increased. SNS refers to a service that enables a user to have relationships with others in a virtual space on the Internet or a service that provides a user with communication to share various pieces of information. Also, as the SNS can be used on a device, for example, a mobile device, communications with contacts may be made at anytime and anywhere. An SNS is generally installed on a device in a form of a program, and is widely used.[0006]An SNS serv...
